Two women in pink tops pose playfully against a bright yellow geometric background, with the text 'I Love Bette Midler' at the top.

“I want to achieve enough confidence…”

“I want to achieve enough confidence to go out there into the world, to take off when I want to. The only way I can do that is to get success, to gain a measure of freedom that’s so hard for a woman to achieve. I enjoy working and I’m good at it, so that helps. You see there aren’t many successful women in this business, it kills them off. It’s a hard life and you have to keep your head about you if you want to survive. Success can kill you, turn you into a creature other people aren’t particularly interested in, if you’re not careful. (Sounds, 17 February 1973)
